Original Federal Express Callsign?
 

Has anybody here been around long enough to remember the original Federal Express callsign? I heard someone mention it about 10 years ago and I remember it sounding cool... But I cannot for the life of me recall what it was.
Thanks

"Express" 123..............

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I knew it was "Express", but what was the reason for the change, was it the company or FAA?

Just curious, Flying Tigers were "Tiger", but what was Seaboard?

Thanks

This is exceedingly difficult....Seaboard's call sign was "Seaboard".

We changed our call sign because their were too many call signs being used that contained the word "express". Once Fred decided that it was OK for the company to be called FedEx vs Federal Express it was a done deal. As a side note our airline code has changed many times over the years also due in-part to our expansion into ICAO territory.

I wish UPS would change their code from 5X...

I always loved the "Brown Tail" call sign. Don't really know why though.

Isn't that short for 5 Ton TRUCK :eek: :D:D
